Michael Gerson - Virginia museum's bust of Stalin is an atrocity by any name

In 1931, during the liquidation of millions of kulaks, Joseph Stalin
granted an audience to George Bernard Shaw and Lady Nancy Astor. Astor bluntly
asked: "When are you going to stop killing people?" To which Stalin replied:
"When it is no longer necessary."

But Stalin authored racial atrocities of his own. Historian Andrew
Roberts notes: "Stalin also committed seven major acts of racial genocide,
against the Ukrainians in 1930-32, the Poles, Balts, Moldavians and Bessarabians
in 1939-41 and 1944-45, the Volga Germans in 1941, the Crimean Tatars in
1943, the Chechens and the Inguches in 1944."
